According to police Superintendent Michael Chitwood, the victim said Hinson came to his house on the 600 block of Littlecroft Road.

“Hinson was all whacked out,” Chitwood said. “He wanted to sell the guy a DVD player and he didn’t want it and they got into a heated argument. The defendant pulled out a knife and stabbed him five times in the left thigh. When police arrived, the victim said, ‘Drew stabbed me.’ The officers knew Drew from the neighborhood and located him in his wheelchair in the back alley of Clinton Road. Usually people in wheelchairs are victims, but this guy’s the defendant. He’s a bad guy. He’s got a significant criminal record dating to 1987.”

The victim suffered deep stab wounds and was transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia for treatment.

Police recovered a black-handled knife from Hinson’s pocket and a cigarette pack containing an pipe used for drugs and a pill.

“He claimed it wasn’t the knife he used,” Chitwood said. “He said he tossed the knife in the bushes. We looked for it and didn’t find it.”
